From Silos to Systems: How States Are Reuniting Education and Workforce
from ASU+GSV Summit Sessions · host ASU+GSV
Recorded live at the 2026 ASU+GSV Summit in San Diego, this session featured Maria Flynn, President & CEO at Jobs for the Future; Nadja Young, Chief Brand Officer at MetaMetrics; Nick Moore, Acting Assistant Secretary at the Office of Career, Technical, and Adult Education, U.S. Department of Education; Steve Dackin, Director at the Ohio Department of Education and Workforce; and moderator Anna Edwards, Chief Advocacy Officer and Co-Founder at Whiteboard Advisors.The speakers explored how leaders across the country—and now at the federal level through Department of Education–Department of Labor interagency agreements—were breaking down long-standing silos between K–12, higher education, and workforce to build a more coherent, career-connected learning system. They discussed how this shift was enabling states to align policy, funding, and data around a shared goal: creating pathways that reliably lead learners into good jobs. The session brought together state innovators, federal partners, and employers to examine how these new structures were being built in practice, what they meant for innovation across the learning–work continuum, and where employers could play a catalytic role.
